      YUM! I am a big fan of So Delicious. These cupcakes look amazing. It kind of reminds me of ice cream cake, which is basically the best thing ever. Thanks for sharing! I've saved this one for later 🙂

      Those look crazy dangerous good. Like, I could maybe never make them or I would eat the entire thing at one time.

      These look fabulous! I always see So Delicious Dairy Free Ice Cream in the grocery store, but I have yet to try it. I may have to pick some up.
